Tropical Storm Fay Vs. The Drought

UPDATE FROM THE NHC:THE CENTER OF TROPICAL STORM FAY MADE LANDFALL OVER KEY WEST FLORIDA AT 3 PM EDT

ORIGINAL ENTRY:

Fay's northward progress will be slowed by a strong high pressure system over the Northeast, so we could be in for a soaking rain for much of her track.
